I AM INVINCIBLE

So he's not going to race again?

100 to 1 against imo Bazz.

It's hard to soar with eagles...

Cheers

I like invincible spirit, really like him and think his results over in europe are phenomenal meaning that he stopped coming out here and never got a real chance. To date I am Invincible is his best performed horse in Australia. And his second in the goodwood to takeover target is a race I think i'll remember for a long time

Given that he'll stand for around $10,000 this year he'll attract a good book of mares (100) and the odds are in his favour of doing as well as his Yarraman Park barn-mate Magic Albert.

ringlock where did you get your info from mate

best i am invincible has done is a weak group 3 in morp

and a listed race in melb

for $10.000 im sure you can do better else where much better

and for the hundred mares give me a break

u dont have to b dead to b stiff

90% are just no good,9% are average and 1% are tops.

The numbers say he'll be no good.

I liked his sire but I wouldn't follow up the sireline through him. As said already, there will be better bred / performed horses standing around Australia at the same money or perhaps for less.

Now having passed 1000 posts I feel you are all so much the wiser for my having said... stuff!

Not a horse I'd go for, but if anyone can make him work it's the Mitchell's, they're very professional and astute.

I've not seen him close up but if he is going to stand at that fee than he must be a pretty good sort.

Frankly I doubt he could stand at that fee particularly this coming year, where I suspect a lot of stallion fees will be slashed.

With all the good colts getting around atm i would have sat on the sidelines for a few months before securing something..

3..2..1..Big rocket go now!

After seeing this horse at caufield,he will sell on type alone outstanding

his speed and sire line are a bonus.

can i take the 100/1

Harry and Arthur are two of the best astute judges in Australia. If I Am Invicible is good enough for Yarraman to stand, he is good enough for me to send a mare. I would not doubt that they can launch any stallion.

not 2 seasons was only one because after that last season at chatswood he stopped coming out to aus. The success he had in europe breaking records for a freshman sire caused his insurance to skyrocket so he didn't come back out. The last season at chatswood (and aus) he covered 153 mares for 119 live foals returned. They are now two year olds

No way can he should stand below 10k....stallions just will not get reasonable mares or respect in sales at anything less...breeders are a snobbish lot and unfortunately service fees gives a perception of quality...he fills an obvious gap in market and 3-5k is a ridiculous place to start...

Unraced Dam - meant the dam of sire Invincible Spirit (Cannarelle)

Sometimes with these type of stallions you really need to see them in the flesh before assessing their service fee value.

A good example of this is Snippetson. When he first went to stud his racetrack performance probably dictated that he was a $5,500 horse and hence his listed fee looked of $9,900 for a Listed winner probably looked on the high side.

However after the horse was brought out for the parades (and was clearly a gorgeous animal) it was clear that whether or not this was a value fee, the horse was nice enough to get people to support him.

I am Invincible may well be the same. On face value with what he's done on the track he's a 5-7K horse, but if he is a stunning looker than they will probably be able to stand him at 10K and deal back a little each year.

The 10K figure is significant in that it will allow his better yearlings to get into Magic Millions which is likely to be his benchmark sale as he probably won't get any into Easter until he's proven.

The stallions that Yarraman have had in recent years have generally been super types, so you would expect this guy to have a lot of presence. I'm looking forward to seeing him, he may turn out to be a real sleeper in years to come, you just never know.
